Surveying the Matrix at Home with 15 GoPro Cameras

The creator of the Permagrin Films studio, the amateur cinema Marc Donahue, with the help of the arc array of 15 GoPro cameras, managed to turn ordinary photos of cycling or cooking into scenes similar to the movie The Matrix.



To achieve the effect of slow circular shooting, GoPro portable cameras are synchronized with each other. Because of the size of the cameras, they have so far failed to connect more than 15 cameras so that the extreme cameras do not come into view of the opposite ends. Perhaps in the future it will be possible to solve, turning the camera 90 degrees.

For the guiding video, an additional camera is used installed above the main array. Each camera is worth about 400 dollars. But Mark received a full package for his project from the manufacturer for free, which immediately saved him 6 thousand dollars.

Not all scenes are perfect yet. So in the second minute the grass is a little bit "buggy." Although, it can be interpreted as interference of the Matrix. The creators are now working on improving the speed of synchronous shooting.

Converting 750 gigabytes of data takes about a day. Subsequent editing and assembly of the video - three more. To synchronize video over audio, Mark uses the Pluraleyes package.

In an interview with Fstoppers, Mark said that he is now working on creating the next music video.
